Living well for longer: preventing premature mortality
Local authorities have a key role to play in preventing and reducing premature deaths from non-communicable diseases such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease and alcohol-related liver conditions. By tackling these diseases, they will also help reduce health inequalities, because the more disadvantaged people are, the more likely they are to die before they reach 75.
NICE has been producing evidence-based guidance on cost effective action to prevent disease and promote good health (public health guidance) since 2005. Living well for longer - Preventing premature mortality, summarises the actions local authorities can take to reduce premature mortality.

Special reports
Blood alcohol concentration.
Two special reports produced by NICE, on behalf of the Department for Transport focus on reducing the number of alcohol-related road deaths. The reports examine the potential effects of reducing the UK's legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit.
- Blood alcohol concentration - review of effectiveness: special report
- Blood alcohol concentration - road traffic modelling: special report
Health systems and health related behaviour change
In 2010 NICE, working with the World Health Organisation, produced this special report on health systems and health related behaviour change. It presents a review and analysis of evidence from research literature, NICE public health guidance, and NICE public health stakeholder responses about features of health and public health systems that promote and support health related behaviour change.
Supporting local investment in public health
This paper summarises a recent project carried out by NICE to develop potential new methods for determining the cost impact of - and returns on investment (ROI) from - public health interventions.
- Supporting local investment in public health - using evidence on cost effectiveness, cost impact and return on investment to inform local commissioning
HDA publications
In 2005, NICE inherited the functions of the Health Development Agency (HDA) which produced evidence-based publications on the promotion of public health. The HDA's publications are available to download.
Referral advice
In 2001, NICE published a referral advice booklet with guidance for health professionals on referring from general to specialist services. This has been superseded by the NICE referral advice recommendations database, which was created, and is maintained, by NICE's Research and Development team.

'Goddess' is a classic example of the changing face of pop
music in the late 80's early 90's, by fusing styles, samples, beats and hooks
as perfectly illustrated by their hit single 'Hippychick'.
The CD features the 12 tracks of the
original album release plus four bonus tracks.
The CD features the #8 UK smash
'Hippychick' which also reached the top 20 in the US Billboard Hot 100 chart
and the US Hot Dance Club Play chart, outselling Delite's Groove Is In The
Heart which was released at the same time.
The bonus tracks are: Hippychick - Never Trust A Hippy. The result of a studio accident, when a piece of sampling machinery broke and the stuttered samples over the top of the breaks became the mix that broke Hippychick with the loved-up, E-d out Brits who holidayed in the Med in 1990.Scorpio Rising - the story of a man who got his ultimate, final kicks watching a his wife have sex with a stranger through a two way mirror as he gradually chokes to death. Very limited release as a bonus track for the cassingle release of Out Of My Mind. 1st time on CD.Keep The Faith - a pre-Things Can Only Get Better tune written to keep spirits up in the darkest days of Thatcher's rule in the late 80s. Never previously released, although it was played live a few times. 1st time on CD.Never Stop - originally part of the Goddess album, ended up as a USA-only B side. Another feminist anthem-on-a-motorbike.
Their 'Dickensian Rasta' look was an immediate hit and saw their debut single 'John Wayne Is Big Leggy' rise to number 11 in the national charts. In their brief career they would also enjoy chart success with 'Holy Joe' and 'Shiny Shiny'. All three hits are reprised on this CD, as is their sole album, Battle Hymns For Children Singing.
The package also features a host of bonus tracks, remixes, and sleevenotes written with the co-operation of both Healy and Garner. The former went on to become one of the UK's most successful DJs, while the latter is an accomplished and in-demand photographer for artists including Sinead O'Connor, Bjork, David Bowie and others.

A vehicle that's easy to drive safely at the limit in competition is a vehicle that can be safely driven on the streets. High speeds and the duress of competition are the ultimate tests of quality. Competition is the proving ground of our technology.
The basic formula hasn't changed for decades. Low center of gravity and high traction—both made possible by the Subaru engineering constant—the horizontally-opposed SUBARU BOXER engine coupled with Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
An STI vehicle is designed to be so intuitive and confidence-inspiring that it feels connected to the drivers' nervous system. In competition and at the Nürburgring, STI vehicles are known for beating more powerful cars. Why? Because STI vehicles empower drivers.
The seeds of STI were planted in 1972, when Subaru campaigned the Leone in the Australia's Southern Cross Rally. After their first foray into competition, Subaru made history with the first AWD car entered in the World Rally Championship (WRC), when the Leone 4WD entered the Safari Rally in 1980.
By 1988, with the competition reputation of AWD and turbo cars established, it was time for Subaru to stake its claim. STI was founded and they quickly made a powerful statement by breaking a world speed record. Led by Ryuichiro Kuze, the STI team smashed the 100,000 km FIA World Land Endurance Record, driving a generation III Legacy at a blistering average speed 138.780 mph (223.345 km/h) for 447 hours, 44 minutes and 9.887 seconds, continuously. The rest is history.
True to STI's philosophy that racing and production vehicles go hand-in-hand, the WRX STI was released in 1994. Based on the Impreza WRX, the WRX STI brought rally-proven technology to the masses – the turbocharged SUBARU BOXER engine coupled with the Driver Controlled Centre Differential (DCCD) and Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive.
Motorsports. The Ultimate Test.
More can be learned from racing than any computer simulation or laboratory test. A racing vehicle experiences more stresses, more speed, and more extreme conditions than a production car will encounter over multiple lifetimes.
This is why motorsport is the basis for STI engineering inspiration – what wins races on the track can improve lives on the road. What helps racers drive more swiftly, can help you drive more safely. The Subaru engineering mantra, "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind," is as important for racing as it is for driving the streets.
With the rally course claimed and conquered, the tarmac was our next challenge. The 24 Hours Nürburgring was chosen. A grueling 24-hour team race, it would be a great test of STI engineering and philosophy.
The tight and precarious Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit played right into the strengths of the STI racecar, a vehicle that could easily be driven safely and confidently over the 24-hour duration of the race. This is an event rewards consistency first, outright speed second.
The STI race team won the 24 hours Nürburgring in 2011, 2012, and aims to return to the top of the podium in 2014, proving the effectiveness of infusing "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" into the STI NBR Challenge race car, a quality that can be felt in every Subaru around the globe.
There's more meaning to the new STI racing livery than meets the eye. "WR-Blue" represents Subaru and their storied history of competition in motorsports, and "Cherry Red," is emblematic of STI and our insatiable thirst for success racing.
Motorsports has taught us a valuable lesson: the technology required to build a high-quality production car is synonymous to the technology needed for racing success. The "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" experienced by an ordinary person driving a Subaru production vehicle can also carry a professional race driver to the finish line. Our dedication to fielding Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive and the SUBARU BOXER engine in competition is explained by our mantra,"attaining ultimate in driving will attain ultimate in safety." If our technology improves results in competition, it will certainly improve lives on the road.
We have chosen the Nürburgring as our symbolic proving ground for a reason. The Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the most challenging, unpredictable circuits in the world, and it's a place where our technologies and philosophy can shine. Whether competing for lap records, or challenging the competition in the Nürburgring 24-Hour race, our dedication to this precarious track is resolute.
It's a common scenario – a racecar with unlimited horsepower, tremendous grip, slippery aerodynamics, space-age materials, and powerful brakes struggles to finish in the top 10. Why is this? Their engineers failed to address the most important ingredient – drivability.
To STI, maximizing drivability is paramount to racing success. It's an indispensible quality, assuring consistency and confidence in the driver. A confident driver can push through adversity to victory against more powerful, faster foes, no matter the conditions.
Drivability is a constant in every racecar we've ever built. A racecar that can be driven confidently can also be driven competitively. This is our engineering mindset, and that's why "Enjoyment and Peace of Mind" can be experienced in all the production vehicles our racecars are based on.
On the left arm of every WRX STI NBR Challenge team member, you'll see the Japanese Kanji character "心" which means spirit. In the heat of battle, the STI team unites together as one to fight for victory. STI applies this spirit to all challenges, whether racing, or building a vehicle, or designing new performance parts.
Description: Explore the 2015 Subaru WRX STI. The best-handling, best-performing WRX STI. Ever.
STI is the monastery of performance philosophy, a think tank of driving theory, a university of automotive principles. STI engineers tirelessly study, experiment, and test, in a never-ending quest to uncover the root fundamentals of performance.
We ask ourselves constantly: How are performance and confidence connected? What makes a car go faster? What makes a vehicle more enjoyable to drive?
We listen to racers and drivers. We use simulators, wind tunnels and tracks like the Nürburgring Nordschleife to put our engineering to the test. We drive in snow. We drive in mud. We drive in competition. All to create the ultimate automotive experience.
The Subaru Impreza 22B STI is one of the rarest and most sought-after Subaru vehicles. Only 424 of these vehicles were produced and it was designed to commemorate Subaru's 40th Anniversary as well as the third consecutive manufacturers' title for Subaru in the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC).
The limited edition S206 was created to push the limits of performance while retaining the soul of the WRX STI it's based on. With substantially improvements in feel, maneuverability and overall performance over the production WRX STI, the S206 is hand-built with top-grade STI components. Built to commemorate the STI team victory in the 2011 24 Hours Nürburgring race, the NBR CHALLENGE PACKAGE featured a carbon roof and carbon rear spoiler.

- " I booked a 4 person shared room for the first night, and the next two nights i booked a 2 person private room. When we arrived, we found out we would actually get a private room for all 3 nights for the same price. Not only did we get an extra night of having a private room, but our room had a kitchen! The guy working at the front desk was soo helpful and so nice! Wish I could remember his name! He gave us great suggestions of where to take the train to! "
- 09 Feb 2014 Shannon USA
- " I really enjoyed the suite room. "
- 07 Feb 2014 Anonymous Mexico
- " The 1st room we (2) were booked into had 4 beds, 1 of which had no sheet (folded in half to make a top & bottom sheet) or pillow case. When we returned, 2 others were booked into the room, 1 of them had taken a bed which we had left belongings on. This left us with the bed with no sheet/pillowcase. We went to tell the clerk, who booked us into another room. The 2nd room had a leaky toilet which left a puddle of water 1 ft in diameter in front of the stool. No coffee, tea, hot water 24/hr. "
- 02 Feb 2014 Valerie USA
- " Nice comfortable room only stayed 2 nights so didn't get to mingle in the main room but it looked cosy and laid back. Would definitely stay again! "
- 13 Dec 2013 Micheal Ireland
- " Mount Eccles is in possibly the best location ever, so close to the city centre. The female receptionist was just lovely. The guys were a bit grumpy though. The only downside is no lift and a lot of stairs but it wouldn't stop me staying here again. I really liked the georgian height ceilings and they still had a stone staircase which was cool. The wifi is really fast and reliable, the common area was spacious and the pool table and ping pong table were a nice addition. Would def recommend it. "
- 13 Dec 2013 Jemma Ireland
- " We arrived at the hostel and were told we couldn't sleep in the same room. We booked a 6 per. girls room for 2 people. We had 3 options, split up, stay in the same room but it would be a 4 per. mix room or a 6 per. mix room ensuite. This was not a very nice welcome! The facilities are out dated, the breakfast not very nice and the atmosphere was poor. Some nice staff and a good price. But would not come back for sure!! "
- 28 Nov 2013 Rimke Netherlands
- " The room was very big and comfortable. Great facilities. The only quibble is that my shower didn't work in the morning. Great breakfast. "
- 23 Nov 2013 Bridget Ireland
- " Just an average hostel,breakfast is not included "
- 22 Nov 2013 Anonymous Croatia
- " I like the acommodation in the hostel even though we spent just nights there:) but stuff was nice, room and bathroom were clean and our roommates were nice so wehad no problems. The location is near the centre and it is vary calm so nothing interrupt you during the night. We had a great time in Dublin! "
- 22 Nov 2013 Alena Czech Republic
- " Good location and spacious, clean rooms. A plus for the free wifi and large common rooms. Didn't spend ver much time there so can't really say any more than that. Some of the staff seemed like the'd rather be somewhere else though... "

Robotics at St. Joseph's
We're using the da Vinci® Robotic Surgical System to help urologic and gynecologic patients get back to their lives faster.
Despite its name, robotic surgery is actually performed by highly experienced, specially trained surgeons. They are assisted by an integrated system of advanced computer and robotic technologies.
The da Vinci system gives St. Joseph's surgeons the advantage when performing minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of cancers and other conditions. It allows the physician to make precise, delicate motions.
The robot is completely controlled by the surgeon, and allows for greater precision than the human hand can achieve on its own. A da Vinci surgery is less invasive — which means less pain, blood loss and scarring, and a faster return to normal daily activities.
How does my surgeon use the da Vinci?
How does my surgeon use the da Vinci?
To operate using the da Vinci, your surgeon makes tiny incisions in your body and inserts miniaturized instruments and a high-definition three-dimensional camera. Then, from a nearby console, your surgeon manipulates those instruments to perform the operation.
During a da Vinci procedure, your surgeon uses master controls to manipulate the instruments, and the instruments translate your surgeon's movements into precise movements inside your body. Your surgeon is in control the whole time; the surgical system responds to the input given.
The Benefits of da Vinci Surgery
The Benefits of da Vinci Surgery
Shorter hospital stay
Less risk of infection
Less blood loss and fewer blood transfusions
Less pain faster recovery
Quicker return to daily routine
Your surgeon has greater range of motion and dexterity
Your surgeon sees a highly magnified, high-resolution image of the operating field
Your surgeon has better access to the area being operated on
Of course, as with any medical treatment, there is no guarantee. Outcomes differ from patient to patient and from operation to operation.
What can doctors treat using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System?
What can doctors treat using the da Vinci Robotic Surgical System?
Many procedures that were traditionally performed with open surgery can now be done using the less invasive da Vinci procedure. Robotic surgical procedures are used at St. Joseph's to treat the following:
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the surgeon operate during a da Vinci surgery?
During a da Vinci surgery, your surgeon "directs" the surgery from nearby, but does not stand over you as in a traditional surgery. While each surgery is different, here are the general steps to a da Vinci surgery:
Your surgeon makes tiny (one- to two-centimeter-long) incisions in your body.
The miniature robotic instruments and a powerful camera are inserted into your body.
Your surgeon then sits at a nearby console (a large computer) to direct the procedure. At the console, the area of operation can be seen highly magnified, with excellent resolution.
Sitting at the console, your surgeon manipulates the controls.
The instruments respond to these movements, and translate them into precise, real-time movements inside your body.
The robotic devices, which have greater dexterity and range of motion than a human, allow your surgeon to successfully make precise, delicate motions.
How does the surgeon see what he or she is doing?
A camera inside your body sends real-time images to your surgeon, seated at a console. In fact, the images your surgeon sees using da Vinci are more highly magnified, with a sharper resolution, then what he or she would see standing over you.
How did the da Vinci Surgical System get its name?
For many, "da Vinci" conjures up the famous "Mona Lisa," or perhaps a bestselling novel. However, Leonardo da Vinci is also credited with inventing the very first robot. In addition, he was well known for his intricate, anatomically correct drawings of the human body. Similarly, the da Vinci Surgical System provides surgeons with an intricate, precise view of the human body during the operation.
Does the da Vinci operate by itself?
The da Vinci system cannot "think" on its own. It only responds to your surgeon's precise hand and finger movements. Your surgeon is in the operating room, directing the procedure the entire time.
What conditions can be treated using the da Vinci?
There are many conditions that have been successfully treated using da Vinci surgery. These include:
Can any doctor use the da Vinci?
Without proper training, a doctor cannot simply walk into an operating room and direct a robotic surgery. However, any doctor can be successfully trained in the da Vinci Surgical System.

First one I think I'm going to enjoy my fan from Honeywell . I will buy another product soon
Thank you . Arkansaskid
HT-9700 Fan
Loved how the fan can operate on two different directions. However, the top fan does not have good supporting brackets and while rotating it snapped within the first couple of uses and now is broken.
I like IT!
It is a rteally power fan for such a small product. I like the versatility of its movement and the fact that it can even fit on a desk without taking much space. Good Job!

I'm beginning on 7/24/11 for the first time. My main goal is to stick with it for the full 12 weeks!
I started on the 17th, but I am willing to motivate and be motivated! This is not an easy thing, but we can do it!! Plan EVERYTHING!! It makes it easier! Sticking with the 12 weeks is a great goal...it's one of mine as well! A couple of people have told me to post everyday to make it easier! It works! There are a lot of good people on here for encouragement and positive feedback! Looking forward to completing the challenge with you!!
Count me in, just done day 19, its really starting to fly by now.
Keep updating this daily, it really does help as you know people are following you and its hard to find a valid excuse to miss a workout or have that 1 doughnut on a non free day.
Good luck and keep us posted. I post daily too.
you guys should come join our group, the july 18th start date :) close enough, and we all need all the kind words and motivation we can get! :)
i agree with juicy join the 7/18 start date group - we would love to have you! Best of luck to you!
PRE PLAN! do all your goals, questions and answers from book, get all your paper work done, thats the meal and training plans (i did 3 months worth back to back and had them bound) read all your goals everyday, get a photo/picture of someone that you aspire to be like (or yourself in fitter days). After pre planning, which takes me about a week, i hit the gym with a trainer to help out with weights setting up, after that i fly on my own. THEN PLAN PLAN PLAN everyweek, everyday.. thats the way i have stayed on track. BEST OF LUCK : )
P.S i like working out by myself, independant of a trainer, i find they talk to much and i can't work out to that pulling damn ugly faces with another person watching - lol.. i just get them to help me set them up and i go from there. I change all weights myself about every month as i have the know how, but if you don't, perhaps get a trainer to set up and get them again when you need to change things around. : )
Oops, on the 25th, I meant
Thank you all so much for your support! This is going to be great! Juicy and Kabbott, I'm new to this forum stuff. How do I "join" the group? Just follow the question?
I think I already saw a post from you in the July 18th board, but there is no official joining your just in! Yeah!
I'd love to join the group for the 24th. I did BFL about 12 yrs. ago and had amazing results. I was in the best shape of my life. Since then, I've yo-yo'd back and forth. I'm not extremely overweight, but I'd like to put on some lean muscle and lose the fat. I'm about 205 right now (about the same weight I started the last time). I've tried doing the BFL about 3 times since the first time I did it. My main advice is this: COMMIT TO THE 12 WEEKS. In the past 3 times I would make it about halfway, start feeling good, then cut corners (maybe 2 cheat days, skip a leg workout here and there, only have four meals instead of 6, didn't drink the water I needed to, etc.) The first time I did it I didn't cut any corners AND IT WORKS! I really want to stick to it this time. We didn't have forums or anything like this back then, so I'm really looking forward to posting with everyone. WE CAN DO THIS!
I would like to join this also. I did this 1 year ago and did wonderful and I am still at the same weight that I lost. I tried doing it again but after the free day, I gain and loose the same 5 lbs!
Dear BFL friends. I started on 7/24/11 as well and it too is my very first time. I'm hoping to be successful and therefore would be grateful for any advice/ideas that have helped any of you along the way.
I will post everyday on how things are moving along. I suspect Week 1 is to establish an initial base plan and as the weeks move along, you are to adjust it to tune in with your body.
I started off today with cardio although now in reading more, i should have done weights....so I'm not sure it matters as long as the correct amounts of
workouts are done by the end of the week. The cardio was simple enough to understand and I know how to adjust it as I get better at it. the 20 mins today was moderately intensed so I'm glad it's something.
Tomorrow is weights and I feel a bit uncertain about how much to start initially and how much to increase with each rep or decrease. I figured I can just as a trainer there to help me with posture if I am not doing it correctly. Will let you all know how I do on the exercise portion when I get through.
Lastly, for me like many of you, we are all on journey and quest to help improve an area of our live or possibly several areas. I will be here everyday to post and encourage you all on. There is greatness in numbers and together we help get us achieve this. Good luck my friends.
I did my first challenge 11 years ago and had incredible results. I actually maintained my weight loss pretty well over the years. I did yo-yo back and forth a few times, but not to the point where I couldn't jump right back in and take the weight back off. Well, the last couple of years have been a different story. We moved and I quit going to the gym. I finally cancelled my membership altogether. We own all of the workout equipment that I need in order to workout at home and I just kept telling myself that I'd get back in the groove and just workout at home. Well....it never happened and I found myself gaining about 30 pounds. I gained the last 10 pounds within a month! (I think I may be pre-menopausal but I'm also low thyroid, so who knows.) To make a long story short, I finally got my butt in gear and rejoined the gym. I started the challenge on July 6th and I have to say that I am doing really well. Haven't missed a workout and have been eating right....10 pounds down so far. If there is one word of advice that I can give to anyone, it would be STICK IT OUT! During my first challenge, I lost 10 pounds in the first 2 weeks and then I didn't lose ANYTHING for the next 5 weeks! If it weren't for the 'guestbook' (that's what it was called back then) I would have given up. Luckily, people were posting comments saying that the results would really come after week 8; just keep pushing. Boy, was I glad that I did. Sure enough, after week 8, the weight just began falling off and I ended up losing almost 25 pounds total. I hope I can get better results this time since I am starting off a little heavier.
An old veteran of BFL once posted 'THE PAPER TOWEL' theory and I read it to keep me motivated and help me to realize that I am making a difference, even if I don't see it right now. If you'd like to read it, let me know and I'll post it here. Keep up the good work, friends!
Hi BFL friends, How is everyone doing today? I find it very hard to fit in all 6 meals so I usually skip the last one. Plus my breakfast meal is usually starts around 9am. Does anyone else have a hard time trying to keep up with the small meals every 3 hours?
Amy--I would very much be interested in reading 'the paper towel' theory. Anything to keep me motivated and encouraged would be appreciated.
I am starting my weights training today. I am planning on doing the following weights 10/15/20/25/25 since I am such a newbie. Hopefully it will be the right amount of weights to start. Will check in with everyone else later. Have a great day everyone!

Planning a trip around Europe this summer and looking for ways to save money? In this post from our latest guest blogger Chris Richardson, editor-in-chief of travel blog The Aussie Nomad, you can find out six different ways to save money while travelling around this extremely popular continent. Chris picked up these tips while backpacking around Europe recently, after which he published a series of posts called 'How much does it cost to travel to Europe'.
Travelling Europe for the summer is a dream for many a would-be backpacker. Whether solo, a couple or in a group, you are bound to have an amazing experience that will leave a lasting impression.
While the dream is great, navigating the costs, transport and accommodation can be enough to put many off in fear. The good news is that's it not that hard at all. You have sites like Hostelworld.com that make accommodation cheap and easy to find, while Eurail passes come in a variety of options and are priced amazing well for the under 26 age group.
The hardest part is deciding just how much money you need for your day-to-day expenses. Before leaving Australia I did all the research I could online and from guide books, but nothing comes close to actually being there and living it for yourself.
Last summer I covered 13 different countries all around Europe - some of them cheap; some not so cheap. To help you on your travels I've listed 6 the most useful tips I picked up along the way. Perhaps you can put them to use and go see Europe for yourself this year.
1. Balance your trip out
France, Germany and the Netherlands are great but you will pay the price for staying there. You'll also spend a lot of your time dodging large tour groups. Go further east to countries like Estonia, Lithuania and Poland where your money lasts longer and you'll find a completely different feel to Europe.
2. Book your hostels on the road as you go
So many people I met had planned every destination out before they left their home country. This left them paying a higher price for a bed each night and without any flexibility. Say you want to stay an extra few nights in one place? You can, but you'll blow all that money on the next hostel you've already paid for and probably every other one down the line. Be flexible it - makes travelling that much more fun.
3. Practice your language skills and eat in the local restaurants away from the higher priced tourist spots
My French was terrible but by finding small bakeries away from tourist attractions I paid half the price for some delicious baguettes.
4. Some major cities have tourist travel and attraction cards
These entitle you to entry to a range of museums and attractions saving you a bundle, while the travel cards give unlimited travel for a period of time. This can save you the trouble of working out the ticket systems and help avoid a nasty on the spot fine from a stern looking police officer who doesn't speak English. Seek out tourist information centers for these cards.
5. Don't wait for summer to arrive before you land in Europe
I arrived in Paris at the end of April last year, which put me a good month or two ahead of the peak season travelers. While the weather can be a little fickle, the lack of major crowds and shoulder season costs were well worth it.
6. If you have a student card make sure you bring it with you
It's the golden key to entering museums and other attractions for free or, at worst, half price - saving you a small fortune.
I'll leave you with the question that you all really want to know... 'How much does it cost to travel Europe?' I left Australia budgeting for €70 a day for food, accommodation, attractions and partying. While it depends on how much you plan to party, I can guarantee you won't go without if that's in your pocket.
Good tips from Chris. To read more from him check out his website The Aussie Nomad. You can also keep up to date with everything he does by following him on twitter and 'liking' his facebook page.
Dennis Matthews said on 06/04/2011 at 12:07am
" Great tips – Defiantly don't miss out or be afraid of Eastern Europe. The hostels in Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria are a lot cheaper. You'll also feel more like adventurer when you arrive at an old train station and no longer use the simple Euros. In the less traveled countries some will even be willing to pick you up from the train station or airport. You may also get other freebees like laundry or a complementary beer and even the third or fourth night free.
Elizabeth said on 05/04/2011 at 4:12pm
" I know its lame, but make use of the tourist information office in each city for advice, directions and free maps. Ask a local what they recommend you see and where they recommend you eat. Do your research online either before you leave or at your hostel - most cities usually have a calendar of often free or cheap events for locals. Find out what's free where you're going and head there - sometimes its art galleries, sometimes museums, sometimes churches, sometimes parks - figure out whats free and make the most of it :)
In our hostelworld.com travel blog we bring you all the latest company news and information on new additions to the site including podcasts, videos and more. You'll also get inside information on a variety of destinations across the globe as they're visited by our travel editor and writers.

The Saint 1948
- Scottish Art
'The Saint' was painted in Florence, while Davie was visiting Italy on a travelling scholarship in 1948. He was inspired by the passion and freedom in the work of the American Abstract Expressionists which he saw on show that year at the Venice Biennale. This prompted his move towards more vigorous and expressive brushstrokes in his work. The painting also shows the influence of Byzantine and early renaissance art, in the subject matter. Davie's early work frequently featured the use of heavy black lines.

Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory condition of the colon. The inflammation
is usually limited to the rectum and lower colon, but it may also involve the entire
Ulcerative colitis differs from another inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's
disease. Crohn's can affect any part of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract from mouth to anus. Ulcerative
colitis, on the other hand, affects only the colon.
Doctors perform tests to determine the location/type of ulcerative colitis. Symptoms
may vary depending on the extent of inflammation in the rectum and the colon.
Ulcerative colitis is often limited to the rectum or lower colon but can involve
the entire colon.
About 700,000 people in the United States have ulcerative colitis, with males and
females affected equally. On average, people are diagnosed with ulcerative colitis
in their mid-30s, although the disease can occur at any age.
Though the cause of ulcerative colitis is not fully understood, researchers believe
it to be a result of a combination of factors involving genetics, the environment,
and the immune system. Here are some of the things that are known:
About 20 percent of patients have a close relative with ulcerative colitis.
The prevalence of ulcerative colitis is higher among white people of European origin
and among people of Jewish heritage.
Ulcerative colitis is more common in urban than in rural areas, and more common
in northern than in southern climates.
Researchers believe substances in the intestine are mistaken for foreign or invading substances (antigens).
These antigens may be the direct cause of the inflammation, or they may stimulate the body's defenses to
produce an inflammatory reaction. Normally, your immune system causes temporary inflammation to combat
these antigens, and then the inflammation will be reduced as you regain health. In people with ulcerative colitis,
however, this inflammation can persist long after your immune system should have finished its job.
Some people believe that ulcerative colitis may be triggered by the foods we eat. However,
no studies have suggested that diet can either cause or treat ulcerative colitis
and there is no specific diet that patients with the disease should follow although
it is advisable to eat a balanced diet. Likewise, there is no convincing evidence
that ulcerative colitis results from food allergies.
To diagnose ulcerative colitis, doctors evaluate the patient's history, physical
exams, and a variety of laboratory tests. These tests include:
Ulcerative colitis can be difficult to diagnose, because symptoms can be similar to other intestinal disorders. Patients
with suspected ulcerative colitis can be referred to gastroenterologists who specialize
in ulcerative colitis and other IBDs.
You should discuss the potential benefits and risks of HUMIRA with your doctor. HUMIRA is a TNF blocker medicine that can lower the ability of your immune system to fight infections. You should not start taking HUMIRA if you have any kind of infection unless your doctor says it is okay.
Serious infections have happened in people taking HUMIRA. These serious infections include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that have spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. Your doctor should test you for TB before starting HUMIRA, and check you closely for signs and symptoms of TB during treatment with HUMIRA. If your doctor feels you are at risk, you may be treated with medicine for TB.
Cancer. For children and adults taking TNF blockers, including HUMIRA, the chance of getting lymphoma or other cancers may increase. There have been cases of unusual cancers in children, teenagers, and young adults using TNF blockers. Some people have developed a rare type of cancer called hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma. This type of cancer often results in death. If using TNF blockers including HUMIRA, your chance of getting two types of skin cancer (basal cell and squamous cell) may increase. These types are generally not life-threatening if treated; tell your doctor if you have a bump or open sore that doesn't heal.
Tell your doctor about all of your health conditions, including if you:
Also tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. You should not take HUMIRA with ORENCIA® (abatacept), KINERET® (anakinra), REMICADE® (infliximab), ENBREL® (etanercept), CIMZIA® (certolizumab pegol), or SIMPONI® (golimumab). Tell your doctor if you have ever used RITUXAN® (rituximab), IMURAN® (azathioprine), or PURINETHOL® (mercaptopurine, 6-MP).
HUMIRA can cause serious side effects, including:
Call your doctor or get medical care right away if you develop any of the above symptoms.
Common side effects of HUMIRA include injection site reactions (redness, rash, swelling, itching, or bruising), upper respiratory infections (sinus infections), headaches, rash, and nausea. These are not all of the possible side effects with HUMIRA. Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
HUMIRA is given by injection under the skin.
HUMIRA is a prescription medicine used:
Please see the Full Prescribing Information, including the
Medication Guide, for HUMIRA.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
If you cannot afford your medication, contact: www.pparx.org or call the toll-free phone number (1-888-4PPA-NOW) for assistance.

Serious infections have happened in people taking HUMIRA. These serious infections
include tuberculosis (TB) and infections caused by viruses, fungi, or bacteria that
have spread throughout the body. Some people have died from these infections. HUMIRA
may increase the chance of getting lymphoma, including a rare kind, or other cancers.
HUMIRA can cause serious side effects including hepatitis B infection in
carriers of the virus, allergic reactions, nervous system problems, blood problems,
heart failure, certain immune reactions including a lupus-like syndrome, liver problems,
and new or worsening psoriasis.
HUMIRA is a prescription medicine used in adults to help get moderate to severe ulcerative colitis
under control (induce remission) and keep it under control (sustain remission) when certain other
medicines have not worked well enough. It is not known if HUMIRA is effective in people who stopped
responding to or could not tolerate anti-TNF medicines.

ABC's "This Week" will offer an in-depth interview with Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, who has been blasted for his strategy on the government shutdown.
"There's an old saying that 'politics, it ain't beanbag.' And, you know, I'm not serving in office because I desperately needed 99 new friends in the U.S. Senate," Cruz tells Jonathan Karl.
"This Week" airs at 11 a.m. Sunday on WFTV-Channel 9. Other guests will be former Gov. Jeb Bush, R-Fla., and House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. The panel will be ABC's Matthew Dowd; Peter Baker of The New York Times; Rep. Donna Edwards, D-Md.; and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill. The program will spotlight actress Lupita Nyong'o of "12 Years a Slave."
Cruz dishes out blame of his own about "the lousy deal" that ended the shutdown. "Unfortunately, Senate Republicans made the choice not to support House Republicans," Cruz tells ABC. "I wish Senate Republicans had united. I tried to do everything I could to urge Senate Republicans to come together and stand with House Republicans."
Also on the Sunday guest list:
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., visits "Fox News Sunday" at 10 a.m. on WOFL-Channel 35. Rubio will discuss recent budget negotiations and the Republican Party's approach to Obamacare. Other guests will be Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., and Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo. The panel will be Brit Hume, George Will, Charles Lane of The Washington Post and Julie Pace of The Associated Press. The program will salute Michael Needham, CEO of Heritage Action, as a power player.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., talks to CBS' "Face the Nation" at 10:30 a.m. on WKMG-Channel 6. Other guests are Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va.; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and Mark Zandi of Moody's Analytics. A panel brings together Stuart Rothenberg of The Rothenberg Political Report, Gerald Seib of The Wall Street Journal, Michael Gerson of The Washington Post and Rana Foroohar of Time.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Treasury Secretary Jack Lew stop by NBC's "Meet the Press" at 9 a.m. on WESH-Channel 2. Lew will discuss the shutdown's impact on the economy. Other guests will Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. The panel will be David Brooks of The New York Times, E.J. Dionne of The Washington Post, Maria Bartiromo of CNBC and Andrea Mitchell and Chuck Todd, both of NBC.
Sen. Cruz and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., will be guests on "State of the Union" at 9 a.m. and noon on CNN. The panel will be Democratic strategist Donna Brazile, Republican consultant Alex Castellanos and Ryan Lizza of The New Yorker. The guest anchor will be Gloria Borger.

MECP2-related disorders include: classic Rett syndrome, atypical Rett syndrome, and very mild learning disabilities in females, and neonatal encephalopathy in males and syndromic or nonsyndromic mental retardation syndromes in males. Rett syndrome is characterized by the progressive loss of intellectual functioning, fine and gross motor skills, communication skills, deceleration of head growth, and the development of stereotypic hand movements, occurring after a period of normal development. While classic Rett syndrome is defined on the basis of strict diagnostic criteria, atypical forms of Rett do exist that vary in terms of age of onset (congenital and late regression variants) as well as symptom severity (preserved speech variant). MECP2 mutations may also be found in males and females exhibiting X-linked mental retardation and in some males and females with Angelman-like phenotype. Males with MECP2 mutations have severe neonatal encephalopathy and generally do not survive beyond the first year of life. The MECP2 duplication syndrome occurs mainly in males and is characterized by infantile hypotonia, severe mental retardation, absence of speech, progressive spasticity, recurrent respiratory infections and seizures. Duplications of the MECP2 gene range from 0.3 to 2.3 Mb and are believed to be completely penetrant in males.
Molecular Genetics:
The MECP2 (Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2) gene is located on Xq28 and contains four exons. MECP2 is a transcriptional repressor protein that is known to possess two critical functional regions, the methyl binding domain (MBD) which binds specifically to DNA at methylated CpG's, and the transcriptional repression domain (TRD) that is responsible for recruiting other proteins that mediate transcription repression. DNA methylation-dependent repression is important for X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) and genomic imprinting. More than 200 pathogenic mutations including missense, nonsense and deletions have been identified throughout the MECP2 gene.
Test Methods:
We offer DNA sequence analysis and deletion/duplication testing of the entire coding region. These tests can be ordered together as a panel or separately. PCR amplification and sequencing is performed on all coding exons including splice junctions. The patient's gene sequence is then compared to a reference sequence. Sequence variants are classified as mutations, variants of unknown significance or benign variants unrelated to disease. Variants of unknown significance may warrant further studies in the patient and other family members. Mutations in promoters, deep intronic regions and other regulatory regions will not be identified with this assay. Large deletions and duplications in the MECP2 gene will be detected using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification assay (MLPA).
Detection Rate:
Point mutations have been identified in 70-80% of girls with classic Rett syndrome and 20% of girls with a variant diagnosis. MECP2 deletions are found in approximately 20-30% of girls with classic Rett syndrome and 3% of girls with atypical forms of Rett syndrome. Duplication of the MECP2 gene is detected in 17% of the cases with the specific MECP2 duplication phenotype.
Related Tests:
Atypical Rett syndrome/Infantile Spasms Panel: ARX/MECP2/CDKL5 Sequencing + MECP2 Deletion/Duplication Analysis Atypical Rett syndrome: CDKL5 Gene Sequencing Infantile Spasms: ARX Sequencing Congenital Variant of Rett syndrome: FOXG1 Sequencing Known mutation analysis is available to family members for mutations previously identified by sequence analysis or deletion/duplication analysis. Prenatal Testing is available to adult females who are confirmed carriers of mutations. Please contact the laboratory director to discuss appropriate testing prior to collecting a prenatal specimen.
Test results with interpretation will be mailed and/or faxed to the referring physician or laboratory following completion of the test. Additional reports will be provided as requested.
The clinical utility of such testing is to support a clinical diagnosis of the disease, facilitate genetic counseling, assess the risk to other first degree relatives and to facilitate testing of at - risk family members.

Pat lived a rich life and died wealthy — not materially, but surely rich because of all the people she enriched on her journey.
The Tenstrike, Minn., native moved to Reno in 1945. In 1953, she joined the Reno Police Department's identification bureau, was promoted to secretary to the chief, became a sworn officer and the fourth police woman ever hired by the city of Reno.
Pat left RPD in 1958 for the University of Nevada, Reno student affairs office, working there until her 1982 retirement. She termed it "the best career anyone ever had."
She was a longtime member of the Reno-Sparks NAACP. Branch matriarch Dolores Feemster called Pat "one of the most caring human beings I've ever met She did so much to help so many at the university, including members of my family."
Numerous former students influenced by Pat went on to become part of the heart and soul of this community, Ms. Feemster added.
Former Nevada State Sen. Joe Neal, D-N. Las Vegas, called Pat "a dear friend whom I accepted as a member of my family. I knew her from the time I first got elected," the eight-term (1972-2004) legislative veteran added.
"She always kept up with what I was doing. She would always remember my birthday," Neal stated.
Pat Fladager was on hand the day Joe Neal made history by filing for governor in 1998. A photo of those present has long been published at www.joeneal.org. Four are now gone: Nevada civil rights legend Bertha Woodard; Carson City Democratic mainstay Lewis Rosenberg; Carson-Tahoe Hospital board and CC Democratic Central Committee chair Pat Potter, and now Pat Fladager.
She served on the board of Common Cause Nevada and was the first UNR classified employee chosen to sit on its human relations committee. She was honored with the State of Nevada Employees Association Jerry Cianci Award and was recognized at UNR's Honors Convocation with the Thornton Peace Award. She was a member of the Carson City Democratic Women's Club and, along with several friends, "adopted" a pre school group of Native American children in Hungry Valley. In that capacity, Pat read to, interacted with and supported the youngsters in many ways. In 2004, she was a strong voice in the successful effort to rename a portion of Clearacre Lane as Rev. William C. Webb Circle.
Pat had a long association with Retired Public Employees of Nevada (RPEN), joining in the 1980's and remaining active until her death. She served in several elected positions with RPEN's Washoe Chapter and was twice elected its president.
Several years ago, RPEN re-named its most prestigious honor "The Pat Fladager Special Recognition Award." Unable to attend RPEN's annual gathering last month in Mesquite, Pat was pleasantly surprised by a conference call allowing her to participate in the "Pat Fladager Awards Banquet."
At a legislative committee hearing on Sen. Neal's proposal to emulate New Jersey by banning regulated casinos from involvement in politics, Pat handed me the first contribution to a grassroots organization I formed to support the bill.
I told her she didn't need to do that.
"I believe in this," Pat flatly stated. I still have the $50 check made out to Casinos Out of Politics (COP). Pat Fladager was always willing to out her money where her mouth was.
Pat's only child, Richard Rardin, preceded her in death. If Pat had one regret, it involved her second baby which lives on as the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County's Access program which provides transportation to the disabled.
Pat and Dorothy Pharis started the service as Elderport, a volunteer organization in the 1970's. In 1982, RTC placed a sales tax increase on the ballot to "save Elderport." It was the only time in my life I supported a regressive tax, one that hits harder the lower one's income.
Immediately after it passed, RTC got rid of Pat and Dorothy and used the sales tax revenue to build the very necessary but inefficient bus system we have today, the one that abuses its workers and is run by a foreign management company for $400,000 a year. (See the history I have compiled at NevadaLabor.com through many years of working on behalf of RTC system workers and Teamsters Local 533.)
My late wife, Betty, liked Pat from the start.
"That is one very together lady," Betty said.
How together?
She wrote her own obituary two years before her death, concluding with a plea "to look not AT each other but rather INTO each other wherein you find the heart and soul whose friendships you will find extremely rewarding."
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Nov. 4 at Mountain View Mortuary, located at 425 Stoker Street in Reno.
The last time I talked to Pat, we lamented the sorry state of politics as infested with the current crop of madcap candidates.
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid will be pleased to learn that Pat Fladager cast her 2010 ballot at an early voting location just six days before she died.
One together lady.
Be well. Raise hell.
Andrew Barbano is a 41-year Nevadan, second vice-president and political action chair of the Reno-Sparks NAACP, editor of NevadaLabor.com and JoeNeal.org, where remembrances of Pat will be permanently posted. Please send yours to email@example.com. Barbwire by Barbano has originated in the Tribune since 1988.

Channel Partners Poised to Help Enterprises Build Software-Defined Networks
Enterprises replacing legacy network infrastructure are increasingly turning to software-defined networks, which can automate an entire network fabric. Having helped hosting companies and academic institutions, a variety of resellers, system integrators and consultancies are ready to bring SDN to the enterprise.
Tue, January 15, 2013
CIO — Software-defined networking (SDN) is an emerging field, subject to some confusion and very much an early-adopter exercise at the moment.
Channel partners—resellers, systems integrators and consultancies—often carve niches in such immature fields, providing advice and deployment help to customers who lack sufficient in-house knowledge. That tendency is beginning to play out in SDN. Technology vendors have already started recruiting integrators and other channel allies. The companies that seek to populate the SDN channel say they are studying the technology so they can be in a position to assist customers.
IT managers, however, suggest SDN adopters may or may not need channel support. Cloud service providers and academic institutions—who are considered the first wave of SDN deployment—typically possess deep technical skills and prefer to accumulate their own expertise rather than hire outsiders.

General enterprise adopters, on the other hand, will likely seek the help of SDN advisors and implementers, according to industry executives. They believe the channel will become a key conduit for SDN in the enterprise. "Enterprises are technology deployers, not developers," says Eric Johnson, chairman and chief executive officer of ADARA Networks, which makes SDN software. "It is absolutely expected…and a certainty that SDN should be adopted through the channel."
SDN Poised to Replace Legacy Network Infrastructure
ADARA, and a host of other vendors ranging from established networking players to startups, target a market poised to rapidly expand. IDC projects that the worldwide SDN market will surge from $360 million in 2013 to $3.7 billion by 2016. For its part, ADARA works with three dozen partners in its year-old channel program and has deals with an additional 90 partners in the works, Johnson says.
Such lofty expectations are based on SDN's potential to revitalize network architecture. SDN provides a software layer that lets administrators centrally program switches and other network devices.
In a traditional network setting, a request for a new service prompts a series of manual configuration tasks as administrators work with standalone pieces of networking gear. SDN, however, lets administrators program and automate an entire network fabric. This flexibility dovetails with initiatives such as cloud computing, with its dynamic provisioning of resources.
Anthony Robbins, vice president of federal sales at Brocade Communications Systems, described SDN as an opportunity to address outmoded networking infrastructure. (Brocade in November disclosed plans to acquire on-demand networking vendor Vyatta in a bid to extend its SDN reach.)
"Network infrastructure today is old and full of products designed for client/server-type applications," Robbins explains. "As servers and the data center have become more and more virtualized, the traffic across the network…has changed dramatically. But there hasn't been a fundamental shift in the design of the network."

Chapel is a time set aside in the daily life of our community to come together as people of God in prayer, praise and proclamation of the gospel through word, sacrament, prayer, music and silence. As we come together our individual faith is nurtured, our communal beliefs and habits develop and the community is provided the opportunity for mutual conversation and consolation.
Each day that classes are in session, the community gathers at 11am for worship. During the academic year, daily chapel is held in the Chapel of the Incarnation in the Olson Campus Center. During the summer months, chapel is held in the Chapel of the Cross in Northwestern Hall.
Our general pattern for daily chapel follows a structure which offers flexibility and openness in terms of musical styles, prayer practices, and preaching schedule.
Monday - Service of Morning Prayer; Tuesday - Prayer & Praise (emphasis upon contemporary, cross-cultural, and global music); Wednesdays - Service of Holy Communion with preaching; Thursdays - Service of the Word (preaching office); Fridays: Taizé Prayer Service

Once Bitten2 of 9
By Zoe Schaeffer
The fresh-faced look always makes an appearance on the catwalks (like here at Michael Kors), and this year it seems to be all about just-bitten lips with rosy cheeks. We recommend a cherry stain for lips, while a soft cream blush will add a natural-looking flush.
Cleanse Yourself3 of 9
Brighten skin with this refreshing wash that shrinks pores and gently exfoliates. Mixing the fine particles with water will activate the powder into a frothy, foaming cleanser. We are always looking for ways to make that morning wash more fun.
SHOP NOW: Fix Malibu Wish Wash, $40
Bare It All4 of 9
There's always a trend in skin texture, be it dewy, matte or luminous. This season celebrates clean, bare skin, pictured here at Balenciaga. We say, if you don't have the guts to strip down, try dabbing on a bit of tinted moisturizer which will simply emphasize your natural beauty.
Be Reflective5 of 9
The challenge never changes: If you're not blessed with perfect skin, do your best to fake it. Antioxidants in this creamy highlighter make lines less noticeable by creating a reflective touch. But unlike others of its kind, there is no crazy shimmer to make you look like a holiday ornament.
SHOP NOW: Fresh Twilight Freshface Glow, $36
Get Cheeky6 of 9
This luxe liquid blush imparts the perfect rosy hue thanks to micro light reflectors. Rosamine and rosaliss, two rose extracts, keep pigment in place while adding a pearly sheen. The result looks like the flush you get when receiving a wild compliment.
SHOP NOW: By Terry Rose de Rose Sheer Liquid Blush, $52
Color-Coordinated7 of 9
A monotone palette can achieve an ethereal look, as seen here at Fendi. Try coordinating shades of pink, peach and champagne on eyes, cheeks and lips for a flawless feminine glow. The overall look evokes basking in candlelight.
Stroke of Genius8 of 9
If you can get beyond the gorgeousness that is the packaging, you'll probably become obsessed with swiping these little pearlescent globes across cheeks before a big night out. Varying pastel shades somehow mix into one, beautiful, light-reflecting cast.
SHOP NOW: Guerlain Meteorites, $56
Shine On9 of 9
Housed in the most perfectly feminine little bottle, this classic shimmer liquid comes in different colors. Choose between a rosy flush, a subtle bronze or an all-over silvery highlighter. Or mix a drop of each to add a bit of each effect.
